Looking for a static Blog/CMS written in python

Question

I'm looking for a static Blog/CMS written Python.

The features of my ideal one are:

WYSIWYG editing or alternatively a powerful flavour of markdown
No need of building posts/pages
Flexible and resilient to changes of themes and templates, I don't want to spend all day fixing a broken site after changing look and feel.
Tags
Free and Open Source Software
Able to Self Hosting, I mean not public cloud based
It would be great if has a calendar
I have no problem of edit posts/pages by hand, but only as an other way of editing
Ideal for python beginners, I don't wanna to spend all of my day searching how to fix a template..

i've seen a ton of python static site generator/CMS offerings at jamstack.org/generators. not sure if any of them fit your needs so i'll just leave this as a comment — DeveloperACE, Commented Jan 17, 2021 at 3:45

I would strongly recommend Nikola:

Content can be generated/edited in reStructuredText, Markdown, IPython (Jupyter) Notebooks and HTML, and there are plugins for many other formats.
Fast build & upload only regenerates the changed pages
Themed and changing themes is quick and easy
Easy image inclusion
Test (development) server and server with automatic rebuilds neither is intended to be exposed to the web - there are plenty of python web hosting frameworks.
Free, gratis & open source
Cross Platform
Well documented

I've tried Nikola. It's good. But I'd like that had a WYSIWYG editor. About automatic builds, you say that: Nikola in one minute ?

With nikola auto you get automatic rebuilds and browser refresh on file save or pick a content type that you have/can find a WYSIWYG editor for. Personally I would say nikola deploy or nikola github_deploy is as easy as git commit -m"Why"\ngit push possibly with a few git add commands.
